2021 TURBO S PANAMERA: THE WORLD'S FASTEST SUPER SALOON FACELIFT FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The facelifted Porsche Panamera Turbo S is presented as a significant improvement over its predecessor, particularly the Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. The reviewer highlights the removal of the hybrid system as a key factor in shedding weight and enhancing the driving dynamics, making it a "pure V8 machine." The engine's optimization results in 630 BHP and a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds, earning it a Nürburgring record. Updates to steering, suspension, and brakes are noted, contributing to a more engaging driving experience. In contrast, the 4S E-Hybrid, while comfortable and refined, is described as more of a luxury cruiser, lacking the sporty feel of the Turbo S. The reviewer praises the Turbo S for its superior steering feel, V8 soundtrack, and handling, deeming it the "performance wagon to have" and a more enjoyable "pure combustion car" experience for petrolheads compared to the heavier hybrid variant.
